Starting and stopping other processes
Familiarize yourself with adding actions to buttons.
You can start and stop other apps - an example is Pretzel for playing background music.
The command to start an app is launch
The command to stop an app is kill
The optional delay parameter is also available for these two commands - it specifies a time (in milliseconds) to wait before running the command.
